Monday, June 8, 2020 – Travel Day to Double J at Mammoth Cave

Hi Baby,
Woke up before the alarm, got up early and started to finish packing. It was just after 10 when I got to the dump, but we made good time and arrived at about 1:30. Their long driveway is only a single lane, so I had to call ahead so they could make sure it was clear for me to come in. Had the pleasure of have a pull-through site for a change, no backing. I only paid for a week, though, since I wasn’t sure about a cell phone signal (though it seems pretty good, actually), and I’m a little concerned about whether there are enough trails for me to keep busy for two weeks. To make matters worse, after I unloaded the horses and put them in a paddock for a few minutes, I noticed Flash limping bad on one of his back feet. He wasn’t limping when I took him out of the trailer, so now I’m worried there’s a hole in the pasture somewhere that he might have stepped in, though I looked around and didn’t see one. He came out of the trailer in a rush, so maybe he did something there, but I didn’t think so when we were walking over. Anyway, we’ll see how it looks tomorrow. Meanwhile, Apollo’s feet seem to be a lot better, he was walking fine the last couple of days. No rocks in the paddock here, and I’ve heard the same about the trails, though I haven’t confirmed that yet. It’s supposed to rain tomorrow anyway, so they’ll get another day’s rest, and I’ll have time to do a little more work on my website. The place is empty, so it should be nice and quiet, but there are a lot of rules and not a lot of flexibility, so we’ll see how it goes. Now it’s time for a shower and an early night, so off I go! Love you, babe! Good night!
